I decided to record my computer screen and think out loud while I wrote the answer to a Task 2 question I had never seen before. This will, hopefully, give you an insight into how I think about these questions and my various thought processes. <strong>The video is below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I actually made a big mistake with the timing and thought I had no time left when I actually had 10 minutes to go, so the essay could be improved further, but I think that it shows just how tricky timing can be and has given me more sympathy for students.<\/p>\n<p>You will also notice that I made quite a few mistakes and I went back and deleted whole sections of the essay. I think that this shows that everyone does make mistakes and how important it is to read each sentence immediately after you have written it and then review your whole essay at the end. If I had not done this, I think I would have got a pretty low mark.<\/p>\n<p>So here is the video. I hope that it helps you gain an insight into how I go about answering these questions.<\/p>\n<p>Please set the resolution to at least 480p to see the writing clearly.
